Matthew Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 I was looking to get 31" tires after I got the money for a 2" lift, and was wondering if anyone has anyone has any opinions on which tire is the best for off-road, without comprimising a smooth and quiet ride: Bridgestone Dueler AT REVO Bridgestone Dueler AT BF Goodrich AT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 I run 31x10.5" BFG AT on my WD21 and they they are quite smooth and quiet. Most consider them jack of all trades, master of none, but I do know they are rated quite well for wet pavement and people say they tend to pack up in gooey mud. Yes to the wet weather handling, but I cant say first hand for gooey mud or snow. If you are a light duty off roader, I'd say they would do you just fine. I know Pezzy has Revo's and likes them a lot ! I believe DJ Dank or Vengeful has the same, and one of them will chime in soon. I don't know what the price difference is so look into it if it matters to you, but I think the BFG AT's are perfectly acceptable for the non-mudbogger...

Matthew Posted July 23, 2005 Author Share Posted July 23, 2005 For anyone with the Revo's, how do they fare in the mud? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Dank Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 Yeah i got the REVO's..and I love em...The noise is only noticeable when I'm driving at around 45mph...any faster, the engine/exhaust noise is all I hear. But noise is not even an issue. I have no regrets whatsoever after having them for 2 years now...the tread still looks new and the yellow/orange m arks you see in new tires are still visible deep in the cool tread design.

herm Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 Like Precise1 said, the BFG ATs have a loyal following as a solid jack-of-all-trades tire. Personally, over 11 years and three vehicles (87 4Runner, 95 Nissan PU, 97 Pathy) I have NEVER flatted with these. Prior to that I usually flatted or trashed a sidewall once a season. But that may not be entirely fair because those flats were on factory rubber, and I wasn't nearly as experienced (or less-stupid?) as I have become in the last decade of off-roading. But Kieth (System-F) trashed a BFG sidewall on the AZ run this summer - but he gets in some pretty rough situations and AZ rocks are harsh! see: www.tirerack.com/tires/surveyresults/surveydisplay.jsp?type=ORAT Notice the Revo's hold the number one spot, but statistically they have half the mileage in responses - since they are newer - but they are encroaching on BFGs marketshare pretty successfully. I haven't run these but I've heard so many people say good things (especially on this and the AC list) that they seem to be a winner too. The only thing I notice in the technical ratings is the Revo's do not carry the Severe Winter Duty rating that the BFG does - so if you live in the north that may be a concern. I've always lived in snow regions - either north or at altitude - so I'm on snowpack at least 3 months straight. The BFGs do a really great job on snow and in sub-zero conditions. m.

DJ Dank Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 Good reply Herm! Yeah Dean(xplorx4) also tore a BFG sidewall a while ago before he got new rims/tires... Here is the thread...seems like popping the sidewall on the BFG AT's is not uncommon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
